<DIV> <STRONG><EM>Hi Larry</EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM> I like the way you think. Give credit where it is
due. Think of the after game interviews with a young cocky basketball
star...talkin abou hisef & how he do it bettah dan da nex guy. No one
seems to mind this or least we tolerate this but in our case we humbly
appreciate when someone recognizes our licks. I agree with
you......... give credit where it is due. It's also the righteous &
appropriate thing to do considering our degree of creative & sacrificial
artisans commitment.</EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM> Am I right?</EM></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV>Steve... What good is a horn if it's not blown! Congratulations.
Piano techs never get the recognition we deserve. A great jazz artist,
Eric Doney, has his own record label and he ALWAYS credits the piano
tech. I've been doing the concert and show tunings for our local PBS
station, WVIA, and I'm friends with the producer and I remind him all
the time to credit the piano tech, no matter who it is. He forgets
sometimes because it's not the usual credit and is often overlooked,
even though he genuinely ants to credit the piano tech. I think we
should all push for the the credit that is well deserved. One of my jazz
clients always gives me at least 1 or 2 very nice plugs at his gigs.
Think of it, if the piano tuner tunes the bass and tenor unisons with
99% accuracy, the performance ill suffer dramatically.
Ooooooo... Out of tune piano during the intro to Desperato or The Rose
would raise many eyebrows! And the piano tuner would surely get
recognition then! Anyway, our role is very necessary for all good music
to be heard and we deserve the credit. Why not a Grammy for best piano
tuning for a classical album... Or live performance, etcetera! </DIV>

<DIV>Congratulations on your Grammy!</DIV>
